This is the home of the donkeys, and to see
them struggling Glong under heavy back
loads of wood and hay is something to re-
member for long time. Away up among
the hills they go, where the Mexicans find
bunch grass, and with their long knives cut
enough in the course of an hour or two to
make a load for the donkey. The hay is
firmly fastened on the back Of the animal,
and then both man and beast walk quietly
homeward, where the load is stored away
for future use. The man sings as he walks
along, or smokes his cigarita in great content,
thinking of nothing in particular SO long as
the sun is bright and the cold north wind
does not blow.
Near the houses, which are built of large
bricks of mud the women do their washing
while kneeling on the ground. They also
prepare their meals while in the same post
ure, which is a favorite one with them They,
too, smoke their tiny cigaritas, and chatter
away with one another as contented and
happy as so many house finches. Surely it
takes very little to give happiness fo some
people, and believe the Mexicans as a nation
are as happy as any on earth. Several of the
old ladies do very nice work in the way of
making lace and fancy table covers, taking
the utmost pains with the inexpensive mate
rials they find in the tienda or store.-C -Chihua-

Proper Position In Sleep.

What is the proper position in sleep?
Toward which point of the compass
should the head lie? A healthy man,
who works or exercises regularly, and
has good digestion, can sleep when lying
in any position. The majority of peo-
Pile, however, are not healthy, and are
not particular about exercise, or of what
and when they eat. To these, lying on
the back is apt to cause nightmare. The
same result may follow lying too long
on either side. Lying first on the left
side until thoroughly composed, and
then turning upon the right, will usually
be attended with satisfactory results.
As the currents of electricity within
the body flow in the direction, it is said,
of its lengths, one should lie sleeping on
an east and west or north or south line,
according to his opinion as to the possi-
bility of any benefit resulting from par
alleling the current supposed to be flow
ing around the earth from east to west,
rather than from having the currents Of
the body at right angles to those of the
earth. If paralleling be preferre il may
be necessary to determine whc.ucr the
head should be turned TO the east or
west, whether the earth current should
flow in the same direction with the cur
rent supposed to flow from the head
toward the extremities, and be opposed
to the return current, or the reverse

She was tall, gaunt and withered; in spite
Of her evident years, her twisted hair was
still dark and full, and her eyes bright and
piercing; her complexion and teeth had long
since succumbed to the vitiating effects of
frontier cookery. and her lips were stained
with the yellow juice of a brierwood pipe
she held in her mouth. The ostler had ex-
planned their intrusion, and yelled their
character under the vague epithet Of
"hunting party" and was now evidently de-
scribing them personally. In his new found
philosophy the fact that the interest of his
hostess seemed to be excited only by the
names Of his companions, that he himself
was carelessly, and even deprecatingly, al
luded to as the stranger from Eagles" by
the ostler. and completely overlooked by the
old woman, gave him no concern.

Zceniel You, Zeenie! Look yerl"
A tall, lazy looking, handsome girl ap-
peared on the threshold of the next room, and
with hand on each door post, slowly swung
herself backward and forward, without en-
tering. "Well, maw"
The old woman briefly and unalluringly
pictured the condition Of the travellers.
HPaw amt here" began the girl, doubt

The interruption was caused by her recogni-
ton of the ostler, and she lounged into the
room. In spite of a skimp, slatternly gown,
whose straight skirt clung to her lower limbs,
there was quaint. nymph-like contour to
her figure Whether from languor, i'll health.
or more probably from morbid conscious
ness Of her own height, she moved with a
slightly affected stoop that had become a
habit 1t did not seem ungracefm to Hale,
already attracted by her delicate profile, her
large dark eyes, and certain weird resem-
blanco she had to some half-domesticated
dryad.
"Thatn do, maw," she said, dismissing her
parent with a nod. aI'll talk to Dick"
As the door closed on the old woman Ze-
nobia leaned her hands on the back of a
chair, and confronted the admi1ing eyes Of
Dick with goddess-like Indifference.

THE "Y" ACCIDENT.
One of the Injured Men Crippled for
Life.

The published statement OF a morning
contemporary to the effect that Mr.. Koch,
who was so seriously injured in the recent
disaster Oh the "Y," is recovering rapidly,
proves to be unfouuded. Mr.. Koch Is not
at the Providence Hospital, but is at the
Hillman House with his wife and three
children, and has been there with them
since last Saturday.
1t Is true Mr. Koch is very seriously In.
jured, and he is not recovering rapidly,
though he Is in somewhat better condition
than when he left the hospital. His spinal
column is broken I'm four places he suffers
much pain In the stomach, and he Is not
able so move In his bed.
Mr.. Koch states that DIR. Kleinschmidt,
who visits him daily. gives him no hope that
he will ever again be able to work.
To add to these mtsfortuues, his wife,
who was also hurt In the accident, is In an
advanced stage OF pregnacy, and he Is to-
day to be told by DR.. Kleinschmldt whether
there is any hopes or not for the life of her
child.
Mr.. Koch speaks broken English with
difficulty, but succeeded last night In tell.
ing his troubles to reporter OF the Ma.
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN,. He stated that his
baggage, comprising three trunks, valued
at $780, satche containing Sl4 revolver,
EOlu WdtCLt uuu Sltp III SOlu "tit "l lDob
in The wreck, unless the baggage should be
returned.
For damages tho Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company offers $500, less the
value of baggage, which they claim Is in
their possession. Mr.. Koch asks $1,000
damages, less the value OF baggage saved,
and thinks 500 more than he actually lost
by his baggage is due him for his injuries,
Mr.. Koch is without a cent. Before
leaving Cincinnati he wrote to his sister IN
Germany to rent him house, as he eS-
pected soon to be home. This costs him
money, and he says he has not the means to
p9y this house rent.
Mrs. Koch, though In her delicate condl-
tion, went to Baltimore yesterday to ideu-
tify their baggage, and to-day that which
has been saved will be taken to the Hlll-
man House, and the Baltimore and Ohin
Reilroad Company will endeavor to settle
with the injured man on the terms pro
posed, and It is likely they will succeed, as
Mr.. Koch thinks he will not have any chance
of defeating the company In law suit.
